Power Calibration Area Error!!!!!!!!!!!

July 15, 2009

I am having terriible trouble burning with Imgburn my burns keep stopping at 50% everytime. Now I have had so much trouble with ImgBurn, I have been using the older dvd decrypter program with success until now. Even dvd decrypter is coming up with the same error. Until today I have had over 20 perfect burns. I know I have the best media and a clean lens, I also remember to set the book type. Please help I have wasted 5 discs in my new pack. Below is a copy of my log, the only thing I can think of is my older burner could be the problem. I have also tried burning at 4x speed, but no success. Please help.

I 18:43:29 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

If it can't burn the best DL media and the lens are clean then it's time for a new burner, don't you think? :huh:

Are your verbs from Singapore?

Maybe this latest batch aren't and your burner just doesn't like them.

If the firmware is up-to-date and you've cleaned the drive, I guess it's time to take mmalves advice and buy yourself a new drive.
